The enemies also have their own motivations for what they are doing and have well written scenes when they fill the screen with fire filled rage. Each has their own thoughts on what current events mean and interpret them in their own way. This makes traversing the land slightly less soul draining (pun intended), as many a time playing through the main campaign in Valhalla, I wished I could have just warped to wherever my raven had flown when checking out areas.Ĭharacter relationships between the dwarves are very well fleshed out. I wish the ability to transform into a raven was in the main game as well. Havi is granted the power Hugr Rip, this enables him to rip the very soul out of enemies and utilise abilities or take their form. The new powers are a really neat addition, a genuine highlight of the DLC. You use new temporal powers to fight your way across these lands. Each area is divided up like in Valhalla with their own chapters, and missions, making the game feel more like an extension of what was already there rather than an evolution. By allying with the dwarves of Svartalfheim, you must utilise their assistance and fight back against the fire demons. Just to really drive their point home they kill your wife as you lie helpless watching.

Yup, these hulking monsters have taken your boy and it’s time to get him back. Havi must rescue his son, Baldr, from fire giants and their leader Sutr. Sure it also replaces kings and jarls with gods and demi gods but you get the picture. Personally I adored the look into Norse mythology and welcomed the distraction from dealing with kings and jarls. For example Basim the hidden one became the god Loki on Asgard or your brother Sigurd who became Tyr.

These areas were given a fantasy-like lick of paint and characters were shared between the realms.

Gameplay in Ragnarök (as with the vision quests in Valhalla) is exactly the same as within the real (Animus) world. It also means you cannot visit any other map location outside of Svartalfheim. However, this means you cannot use weapons and gear obtained from Valhalla. BEWARE MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR VALHALLA AND DAWN OF RAGNAROKīefore you start the Ragnarök campaign you have options, you can either build the Valka’s hut in Ravensthorpe and access the DLC with your current Eivor build, or you can start a new game in the title menu and select Valhalla or Ragnarok as the game type.īegin a new game, select Ragnarök and the game provides you with a prebuilt level 340 Eivor and gives you some weapons and gear.
